Foreign Affairs Minister Charlie Flanagan said Ireland is standing with the UK for the second time in just two weeks.

The minister released a statement the morning after at least seven people were killed and 48 injured in a terror attack carried out in the London Bridge and Borough Market area of London.

"For the second time in two weeks, the ordinary people of the UK have been subjected to cowardly and barbaric attacks. Ireland stands with the UK and condemns these acts utterly," the minister said.

He added; "We continue to closely monitor the situation."
